A sensational Story Regarding the Death
Of Graham.
srllserIEID, 40, July 1i.-A local
paper contains q sensational story about
the death of Graham, 1t is to the effect
that q physician, who was one OF the. mob
that lynchcd him, says when about to be
taken out Graham took two large chews
Of tobacco, which evidently contained
morphine, and he WIS dead when lynch
ed. 1t further states that the body has
been stolen from the grave and shipped
to Carthage by express, where the CON
tents Of the stomach were analysed and
found to contain poison.
The story that the body has been re-
moved Is a canard to the best of the
knowledge and belief Of those who have
investigated the matter. A skull has
been On exhibition to a few friends by q
druggist here, who claims it is that of
Graham, but it appeared to be 90 or more
years old to q correspondent and others
who saw it at the same time. Altogether
it appears as if the sensation is nothing
but the reyamping and exaggeration OF
the stories long ago disproyen.
